DR. BARBIERO was my first professor at university. In economics 101. Lectures were okay, but we were forced to buy his book that he wrote because it was connected to questions on smartbook that were not even similar to the midterms or final exam questions. He was sick halfway through. Raymond the TA was the GOAT and I probably passed because of him
Was an excellent professor for microeconomics. Definitely would recommend.
Lectures were posted online. Just gotta watch em, responds to emails promptly. Attend labs for marks and do the online easy mcq hw(accuracy doesnt matter, completion does) all exams are online and only MCQ. Midterms Graded thru online software and final thru scantron. Just read the book properly and make notes for the final for every chapter.
Barbiero was rude over email, had us purchase an expensive version of the textbook he wrote, & gave mountains of homework (2-4 hour long assignments weekly). I felt a slight invasion of privacy in that we had to download proctoring extensions on our personal computers, & the teacher would view our assignment progress to discredit our complaints.
If you wanna pass make sure to attend and pay attention to tutorials! They'll be really helpful
Just a horrible online prof. Homework takes hours to complete. Does not provide any assistance aside from a few practice questions every week per chapter. No videos or lectures at all. Quizzes were extremely difficult. Basically, if you want to do well in this course with this guy put your head down and read the entire textbook on your own.
The learning platform (connect) takes 4 hours on a weekly basis to complete.I completed each in 1.5 hours by spamming carelessly through the answers because it only marks for completion. Jacob Clifford in Youtube covers all of microeconomics. Attend the TA tutorials, the homework is MANDATORY to pass the class, you will do poorly if you neglect it.
lectures are long and boring, same stuff in textbook. ur required to purchase the textbook and the 'connect' program that corresponds with it. midterms online are pretty easy, study and do the written assignments that are given each week and you'll do good. connect assignments are very long - not worth >4 hours of work each week for 1% sometimes.
He is so understanding and caring. There is some workload yes but it is the needed amount, not much or less than needed.
this prof is really good and teaches well, he is really fun but sometimes not talking about Economics though. just do the learn smart and you'e good easy 15%. Study well for the midterm and the final.
